Advancing innovative knowledge-based solutions for inclusive and climate ready health care systems

Climate change is currently impacting human health. The effects of climate change are predicted to worsen; therefore, healthcare systems need to be prepared by understanding potential climate shifts and their effects on public health. Data collection and interpretation are required to inform and develop evidence-based climate adaptation plans and practices. However, accessing and interpreting the nexus between climate risk and health data for decision-making is complex due to challenges in data collection, quality, and interpretation.

The CORE-STEP Dashboard attempts to support healthcare systems by presenting visualisations of data on historical disaster events, climate-sensitive disease trends, community adaptation efforts, and health service capacity. It aids decision-making by assisting in identifying opportunities and prioritising adaptation efforts at the village, district, and city levels, especially for Indonesian community health care centres (PUSKESMAS).
